Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 172 Wait a little longer

The air in the mountains is fresh and pleasant, the trees are lush and green, and some of the branches and leaves are yellow. Looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, Ye Youlan thinks that the unpolluted sky is so beautiful. There are birds singing in her ears, and Ye Youlan also hears the chirping of cicadas.

She stood under a big locust tree and looked up along the branches. Sure enough, she saw a cicada lying on the branch. She pointed with her finger. The Seventh Prince bent down, picked up a small stone, took aim, and hit it accurately. The cicada fell down.

Ye Youlan picked up the struggling cicada with broken wings and told the Seventh Prince, "This little creature crawls underground for three to seven years. Once it emerges from the ground, sheds its shell and becomes a cicada, it sings its heart out. Many people find its voice too loud, but they don't know that it only lives for seven days."

The Seventh Prince stared at her: "How could you bear to eat it?"

Ye Youlan burst out laughing, feeling that she was being a little pretentious, feeling sorry for it while enjoying the delicious food.

"Let me tell you this: if you kill a wild boar, I won't eat it."

There was a rustling sound in the woods. The Seventh Prince alertly picked up his bow and arrow, took aim, pulled the bow and shot an arrow. An arrow flew out quickly and landed on a low plant in the distance.

Ye Youlan stepped forward, but the Seventh Prince stopped her, walked in front of her, pulled away the branches, and saw a little white rabbit curled up on the ground with an arrow on its belly, bleeding. It was dead.

When Ye Youlan saw the little rabbit, she thought of it as delicious. If it were another heroine, would she be sad and cry? How can you eat a rabbit?

The Seventh Prince picked up the rabbit's legs and pulled out the bow and arrow. "Roasted rabbit meat tastes good too. It would be even better if we could have some wine."

Ye Youlan said, "Drink a little if you want, no more than three cups."

"I keep my word. If I don't want to drink, I won't drink."

Ye Youlan looked up at the Seventh Prince: "Won't you be greedy if I don't drink it?"

"I'm greedy, but I'm more greedy for you."

"Hate it, I'll have a drink with you later."

"You made me drink, so we have to talk. Don't turn your back on me when you sober up."

"I sign and seal it."

The Seventh Prince put away his bow and arrow, holding the rabbit in one hand and holding Ye Youlan in the other: "Let's go back and roast the rabbit for dinner."

"Where's the wild boar?"

"Li Zhi and the others will fight."

When they came back, Li Zhi and others had already set up the barbecue grill, and Xiaomei had washed the mushrooms and was preparing to make mushroom soup.

Ye Youlan walked over and took a look at the mushrooms in the pot: "Are you sure they are not poisonous?"

Xiaomei said proudly, "Li Yi said they are all non-toxic, so don't worry about eating them."

The Seventh Prince handed the rabbit to Li Zhi and asked him to process it. The other guards also helped and soon they smelled the aroma of barbecue.

Xiaomei brought two bowls of mushroom soup and Li Zhi brought barbecue.

Ye Youlan looked at the mushroom soup and didn't dare to drink it, so she asked Xiaomei to see if there were any dogs or chickens nearby.

"Princess, do you want to eat dog meat?"

"No, I wanted to let the dog drink some mushroom soup first. I'm still worried it might be poisonous, so I don't want it to turn red and lie flat on the ground."

Li Yi held the barbecue in one hand and the soup bowl in the other and said, "Don't worry, I just took a sip. You see, I'm fine." After that, he took another sip.

Ye Youlan smiled: "I'd better wait until it cools down a bit before drinking it."

The Seventh Prince sat next to Ye Youlan: "Are you being too cautious? Li Yi grew up in the mountains."

Ye Youlan replied, "The more you claim to be experienced, the more likely you are to get into trouble. Don't drink it either. It would be troublesome if you get poisoned."

Seeing that Li Yi was fine after drinking it, Xiaomei also scooped a bowl. Ye Youlan asked everyone else not to drink it yet and to wait and see Li Yi's reaction.

Li finished his bowl and turned it over, not a drop left: "I'm fine."

"Wait for an incense stick of time."

Everyone thought that the princess was worrying too much, but they didn't want to lose face for her, so they ate barbecue while watching Li Yi. They saw that Li Yi's face was rosy and he was eating the meat with big mouthfuls, which tasted delicious.

"Xiaomei, give me another bowl."

"Ok."

"Ouch, ouch, why does my stomach hurt? No, I need to go to the bathroom." Li Yi covered his stomach and ran to the toilet.

Ye Youlan asked Li Zhi to catch up quickly and used her fingers to dig into his mouth, forcing him to spit out everything he had eaten.

Li Zhi thinks it’s too exaggerated, right?

The Seventh Prince looked at Li Zhi and said, "Hurry up and go."

As they were talking, they saw Li Yi fall to the ground. Xiaomei ran over in panic. Li Zhi almost flew over, picked up Li Yi and started to dig his mouth with his hands. Li Yi started to vomit, spitting out everything he had just eaten.

"Take him to wash!"

Xiaomei followed him crying.

The guards who stayed behind quickly poured the mushroom soup in the bowl back into the pot, took the soup in the pot far away and poured it out, then threw away the pot.

The Seventh Prince thought of the water bag he had brought with him. He handed it to Ye Youlan and asked, "How did you know the mushrooms were poisonous?"

"Some mushrooms in this mountain are poisonous and some are not, but some mushrooms, whether poisonous or not, look very similar. Li Yi has been away from the mountains for some years, so it's normal that his judgment is not accurate."

Before the Seventh Prince could nod, Ye Youlan tilted her head and added in his ear, "He was only busy flirting with Xiaomei and didn't bother to explain."

The corners of the Seventh Prince's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked at Ye Youlan: "You are really an interesting person."

Ye Youlan continued to eat the barbecue: "Li Yisuan was injured on duty, so I'll give him some extra hard work pay when I get back."

"I noticed you really love eating meat. I haven't heard you talk about losing weight recently?"

"If I don't lose weight in March and April, I'll be sad in May, June, July and August. Now I'm so sad that I can only eat more meat to comfort myself."

"What kind of heresy?"

"Ye's famous saying."

Fortunately, Li Yi was fine, so it was just a false alarm. The Seventh Prince and Ye Youlan took a nap in the room before going to the hot springs.

Ye Youlan entered a large room with a pond inside. The spring water was brought in from a nearby spring. Ye Youlan squatted down and touched the spring water: "The water temperature is okay, about half hot."

She stood up and asked the Seventh Prince, "Do you have clothes for the hot springs?"

The Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment: "Clothes for taking a hot spring bath? Aren't you just wearing your underwear?"

Ye Youlan walked around the pool and saw a screen on the side. There was a changing room there and a bathtub next to it.

The hot spring that was introduced into the pool just passed by the bathtub, and Ye Youlan wanted to rinse first before entering the pool.

Unable to find a ladle, she simply came out in her underwear and sat by the pool to get her feet used to the water. She saw the Seventh Prince taking off his clothes slowly, revealing his muscular figure.

Ye Youlan entered the water and leaned her arms on the shore: "Should I ask Xiaomei to bring in some fruit?"

The Seventh Prince also got out of the pool and came to her side: "If you don't mind, you can ask her to bring it over."

Ye Youlan smiled: "I mind, I'll go get a blanket to wrap you up."

The Seventh Prince put his arm around Ye Youlan's waist and sat down: "It's okay, you can't see anything in the water."

Ye Youlan leaned on him, worried that her body would float up.

"The first time you soak in a hot spring, it shouldn't be too long. Let's go up for an incense stick of time, drink some water and eat some fruit, and come down when you feel like soaking."

Ye Youlan lifted her two swaying white legs and said excitedly, "I want to swim. The last time I saved you was purely an accident."

The Seventh Prince was suspicious: "How could it be an accident? Wasn't it a plan?"

Ye Youlan had no way to explain that this was her first time swimming as Ye Youlan, and she was very worried about whether she could swim with this body.

Ye Youlan swam to the other end of the pool. Her red bellyband turned into a touch of red that reflected the bottom of the pool. Her smooth and flawless back caught the Seventh Prince's sight, like a beautiful mermaid. The Seventh Prince was moved and swam towards her.
